Welcome to the sign ups and information thread of the 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 Space-PvP Leagues!
After getting some interest in these formats in a previous thread I've decided to start up these leagues and give it all a shot. Now for clarification, I'm announcing the creation of three independent leagues for players to compete in against each other. All players are welcome to sign-up and compete and players will be able to compete in all three leagues at once.
While each league will have some rules specific to it (such as maximum time length and kill scores) but there are a number of general rules that will apply to all leagues. Additionally all players are requested and required to join the new channel LeaguePvP for coordination, match results, and so as to not clog up OPvP with our fun
.
For ease in finding the info you're looking for, use Ctrl+F with the following:
GR (General Rules);
L1 (1v1League);
L2 (2v2 League);
L3 (3v3 League)
Current League status: All Sign-ups are closed until further notice
1v1: Season 2
2v2: Season 1
3v3: Season 1
GR
General Rules:
- All ship types and character classes are welcome
- Consoles
- Any ship restricted console, such as Flagship consoles, Saucer Sep, Federation Cloaking, etc. are allowed
- All consoles that can be used universally on any ship are prohibited from use without exception (their use will result in a forfeit by said player/team)
- All matches will have maximum time limits, the length of which is specific to each league
- All matches are required to have at least one official observer present to ensure fair play and enforce rules
- Observers will screenshot the results of a given match then submit it, said screenshot is considered the official results upon being submitted
- Matches without observers will not be counted
- League Format
- All Leagues will run on a Seasonal Schedule
- Within the Schedules, no players/teams are eliminated upon loosing
- Players/Teams will have a schedule of matches to play based on the length of the season
- The Entire Schedule will be released prior to the start of the season, and be assembled once sign-ups are closed
- Position/ranking for the season will be based on a win/loss/tie format
- A Win counts for 1 points
- A Loss counts as 0 point
- Tie games count as .5 of a win
- Season length is determined according to the size of the given league but will range anywhere from 4-12 weeks, and at the end of each season there will be a playoff to determine the Season's champion.
- 2v2 and 3v3
- As said above, players can compete in all three leagues at the same time, however they cannot be on more than one team within a given League.
- Teams are not restricted to a player's fleet, any player may be on any team.
- In an effort to prevent zombie matches, teams in the 2v2 and 3v3 Leagues much meet a ship-point calculation to qualify for play (more as you read on).
L1
1v1 League Rules:
- Matches are to 5 kills, first person to reach 5 kills is the winner
- Matches can last a maximum of 20 minutes (enforced by the observer)
- If time limit is reached then the match ends and the player with the highest score wins (unless score is tied)
- Matches can go no more than 5 minutes without combat (enforced by the match's observer)
- If a match goes longer than 5 minutes without combat then the match ends with the player that refused to engage forfeiting the match
- Players can request an AFK for real life issues, if this occurs then the game clock is stopped while player(s) are away; attacks on the AFK player will cause the match to end with the attacking player forfeiting the match. Furthermore, the AFK player must announce that they're back and have it acknowledged by all before they attack, or they will forfeit the match.
- Information
- In an effort to let people know what they're getting into, all participants are required to give out the ship type that they're using as well as the Character Class when they sign up for the season
- Players can have one alternate setup as well and are not required to tell which ship/class combo that they are using
- Baring extenuating circumstances such as major balance patches, players cannot change their combos once the season starts
- Players are not required to give out any build, equipment or spec information; only the ship type and character class
- Ships:
- The Siphon Carriers (Carriers with siphon pods in both hangar slots) are banned from use in the 1v1 League
L2
2v2 League Rules:
- Matches are to 8 kills, first team to reach 8 kills is the winner

- If a match goes longer than 5 minutes without combat then the match ends with the team that refused to engage forfeiting the match
- Teams can request an AFK for real life issues, if this occurs then the game clock is stopped while player(s) are away; attacks on the AFK team will cause the match to end with the attacking team forfeiting the match. Furthermore, the AFK team must announce that they're back and have it acknowledged by the observer and other team before they attack, or they will forfeit the match.

Observers:
Those who wish to be considered to become official observers should PM me here or in the game, if you are approved to be one then you'll be listed here and made an operator in the LeaguePvP channel.
*Note that since observers can also compete in the leagues, you will only be approved to be an observer if you have a history of being impartial and can be unbiased in matches while enforcing the rules. If you cannot be impartial then observer/operator status will be denied/revoked without hesitation.
Current Observsers: (more pending)

@Mavairo is my handle.
So hit me up if you need or want me on your team.
However, there are not enough teams from the 2v2 and 3v3 leagues currently to have a good competition (6 and 3 teams respectively) so I'm extending the Season 1 sign-ups for those leagues by 1 week to 8:00 pm eastern next saturday night.

EDIT:
Biggest apologies if this has already been brought up, but does the ban on universal consoles apply to non-C-store consoles? Borg, Theta Vent, etc.
vids and guides and stuff
[9:52] [Zone #11] Neal@trapper1532: im a omega force shadow oprative and a maoc elite camander and here i am taking water samples
Borg is in since it is a mission reward and a set piece; Theta Vent is still acquired through C-store means last I checked so it's out.....I should probably just make a whole listing of what's in and what's out so as not to confuse people, lol
EDIT: Also, the console ban does NOT extend to weapons, so if you're running the Ferengi missiles or either version of the quads you're good to go.

Yep I got the info and thanks man!
Cool cool, I'll talk to you in-game dude

On another note, due to problems with people finding their matches, next season I'll more than likely convert the league's format to a Ladder rather than a Bracket and set a limit to the number of matches that people can have count for a week (and figure on a length for the season at that).

Sivar vs Starwrath --- Match has finished according to rules and terms dictated by the League official rules.
Here are the results from the latest match Sivar vs Starwrath!

Looking forward to the next match! I'll try recording the next matches and post them on Youtube. (Unless one of the two participants have any objections to it ofcourse)

I reworked it and it seemed that the problem was based in the Numbered listed vs. the unordered ones, eitherway the rules should hurt people's eyes less :P.
Thank MT, I'll update the bracket at the end of this week on schedule, and I hope that everybody gets in their match soon so we can keep this thing moving!
On a separate note, I've definitely decided to convert Season 2 to a ladder format, and the 2v2 and 3v3 leagues will follow this format once they're up and running.

Wait.. it's started? Who am I supposed to be fighting? >.<

It's been going since last Sunday man, join the LeaguePvP channel please . The second post on the first page has the official bracket, though I'll be moving the leagues to a ladder format after this season.
You're fighting @matcap this round.
Yeah I've been trying to catch you online just haven't been lucky enough to do so, I definitely need more people and spread out among the timezones for that matter.
Thank you for the high praise Starwrath, it was a good fight and thank you for participating in the league, and I hope you continue to do so next season!

Ack! So sorry! I didn't know you had updated the first page! I'll try to be on later today for my match if @matcap is avaliable. Again, sorry I didn't realize it was ready to go already. And I feel bad that I'm the only match that hasn't even happened yet.
